10 years later...i almost made it to the parade this year. Blew out a frost plug 5 days before the parade and couldn't get it started. TLDR, you can see my build over at g741.org. But here is a picture just for fun.
I'm sure you got it by now, but it does take some wiggling back and forth. I believe I slid mine all the way to the passenger side, tipped it down, then slid it to the drivers side. Good luck, it'll come.
So you want to use an M37 speedo connected to your tranny? It will take some maths in order figure out what the correct gear will be for that tranny and speedo head combination. I know different gears are out there; but don't know what specific gear you'll need.
What a great weekend! Thought I read somewhere that strapping a tank to a cement mixer was the trick. Let me tell you: it was. I had the boys dump about a gallon of pea-sized rocks into it and let it spin for 4 hours. See the three photos below:

2. During
3. After!
Well...the guy didn't charge me because he didn't make it any better. Looks like i'm into either cutting it open and sand-blasting or a whole new tank. Bummer.
I gave up on electrolysis last week after two weeks of cooking. It did a pretty good job of cleaning the tank between the baffles; but outside of the baffles still looks nasty. This process works by 'line of sight' so there was no chance of it working behind the baffles.
I had a radiator...
